Honours Program

Each year we accept students from biomedical science and science programs to undertake one-year, full time Honours projects in neuroscience related research. Students undertake all of their scientific research work on site at the Florey, while undertaking their course work at the university department through which they are enrolled.

Work Experience for Secondary Students

Our work experience program is offered to year 10-12 students who are interested in the development and functioning of the brain; how it works and what happens when it goes wrong. The work experience program runs over a one week period in June and September, with programs offered at the Parkville and Austin Campuses.
